Easily the most thoughtfully and elegantly written song on the album, but as a reaction to Kanye, I can't help but think it's a little weird and condescending. She is amazingly gifted at expressing nostalgia and lost childhood magic and the like. But what usually makes her sound precocious makes her sound cocky here.
Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days?
Always a bigger bed to crawl into
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything?
And everybody believed in you?
It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent
Pretty lyrics otherwise, but a little creepy when it's about a 32 yr old rapper. . .
